Oh goody goody!  I imagine it took quite a bit of work
to do that, but having warning free code is always
nice.

While your working in this area you may want to keep
in mind a few brain dead compilers in this world that
don't know about #warning.  I'll give you a hint: It's
the compiler that most Windows people use.  Yep,
that's right Microsoft's Visual C++ couldn't even get
the preprocessor right (A1 only uses #warning in the
Mac code not SDL).

I don't know how you want to handle this.  I see two
options.  Either, change the #warning's to #error's,
which MSVC does understand, or put #ifdef around the
#warning's.

This wont become a major issue until we are actually
trying to get it to work under Windows, but it's
something to keep in mind and plan for.

Again kudos on the warning elimination,
